Apart from Apple CarPlay and Android Auto which were already part of the package, the SmartPlay studio will let you listen to the latest music, surf news, get the latest updates on weather and locate eateries around.

Moreover, safety features such as dual airbags, ABS (Anti-Lock Braking) with EBD (Electronic Brake-Force Distribution), ISOFIX child seat mounts and Rear parking sensors are standard across the range which helps the new Baleno to comply with the upcoming safety norm
